Kamadosan Clay Rice Cooker 33 Ounces by

This pot was packed loosely but it survived its journey to my house. The pot I received was from the seller with a 100% rating and the pot I received was indeed 33 oz. This was enough to cook exactly two good servings of rice.It’s a quality thick pot with the texture of pumice. The rice cooked up fluffy and delicious and better than a fuzzy logic rice cooker. I didn’t think it tasted noticeable better, just more fluffier. So far I’ve cooked jasmine and medium short grain. I wasn’t wowed by the taste that some people commented on but I do appreciate the ease of cooking the rice with no boil overs. It cooks rice faster than my instant pot and much more fluffier. Most Asian rice cookers make good rice with ease and this pot takes it up a notch but the quantity of rice is meager and I think the hype about the phenomenal taste is overhyped.

..Because the outer box in which the item was placed / shipped was flimsy, and did not support the weight of the slightly heavy clay pot. I could also hear the broken shards of pottery.inside. Once I opened it, my hunch was confirmed. It appears that the manufacturer in the country of origin chose an ineffective way of packaging because the cardboard between the closure / lid was thin and insecure. That caused the lid to break into many many pieces and this likely happened before it even left japan.

If you are serious about the taste of your rice, this is a worthwhile investment. I normally use an electrical rice cooker, which produces pretty good rice. The Kamadosan rice cooker, however, takes it to a whole other level. Each grain was distinct from each other, al dente-ish kind of chewiness, no mushed together grains. It tasted like rice from the high end sushi restaurants where they take their rice seriously. And if you cook it for slightly longer, the slight smokiness it imparts adds another dimension to the taste, not to mention crunchy mouthfeel. It is expensive but the final product is worth it! I love that it has an inner lid to prevent water from boiling over, a problem I have had with only outer lid clay pots. The only issue with having it shipped from Japan was the direction was all in Japanese. If not for the fact that I have enough experience cooking rice both in electrics cooker and clay pot, I might have been stuck as to how to use it. The shipper took great care in packaging it well to ensure everything arrived without damage.

fanctionally excellent, however, much expensive

This pot makes the most delicious white rice in the shortest amount of time that I've had, and I've eaten white rice growing up. With brown rice, it takes a bit more efforts, but with white rice, this makes incredible short grain rice, Japanese style. Meaning that the rice comes out fully cooked, each grain is well formed and chewy. They are sticky, but not gummy. Just perfect. Since it is cooked stove top, I have full control of how the rice is cooked. I just made red bean white rice, where I added a small amount of brown sugar. Not to make it sweet, but just to give it a bit of caramelization at the end and bottom of the pot. When I open the cover, it smelled heavenly! Hands down the best rice I've ever had. Highly recommended!

I have been wanting to own a clay rice cooker for a while, but the price made kept me thinking because I didn’t know if it really worth it. Thanks for Amazon’s free return policy, it gained my confidence to try it, because if it doesn’t work out for me than Amazon will back me up. I am so glad that I tried it, it’s the best fluffy rice I ever made. It says 3 cups but it will overflow if I do 3 cups. 2 cups of rice is fine for us now, but when my daughter growing up I think we need to upgrade to a bigger pot. I really wished it’s the 3 cups size pot as they stated. I hope there’s 4.5 star choice.

It seemed like the only bad review for this was that most people received it and it was cracked. I figured I'd take a chance but boy was I surprised when I opened the box. It's supposed to be a three piece set and it was delivered as a 30 piece set. I've already asked for a replacement, we'll see if the next one arrives in any better condition.UPDATE - Yup, got my second pot (replacement) and it was in more pieces than the first. I waited to return the first one hoping that if the second pot arrived okay but the lids were broke, I could take the good lids from the first delivery and use on the second delivered pot. Oh well. Good luck to anyone who orders this pot.

Bruh story ville. This boi cooks rice. One day a boi was walking down the street and just picked up dunkin and was like yo my rice last night was sub par. Uphold standards. Ya boi checked the internet and found the donabes. Checked the price and was like ooph boi I'm in tho. Worked it off overtime, came home and cooked the rice. Content. Was looking for something that could cook the rice like a boss but also without a non-stick chemical surface. This lil' boi delivered. It's 2 gou boi, so just enough for one boi and his boi. Cooking regimen. 2 gou and then ~2 cups (us) water. 14:40 on medium, should start piping at 3 minutes to finish. 21 minutes standing. Even better if rice presoaked.

炊飯器のご飯がどうにも美味しくなかったので土鍋購入に踏み切りました。結果、大正解！美味しいご飯が食べられるようになってご飯を食べる頻度が増えました。炊きたてはもちろん、冷めても美味しくて感動です。ご飯を炊くのも火加減要らずで、お米を研いだら、①水に浸す ②ガスコンロ中強火で点火 ③火を止める/蒸す、の3ステップでタイマーをセットするだけ。朝、出勤前の支度が終わる頃には美味しいご飯が炊きあがっているので、朝ごはんを楽しみに少し早起きするようになりました。

最初は手間かと思いましたが、案ずることなく簡単ですしかも美味しい。手離せません。

ここ数年間ずーと土鍋で炊飯してます。電気釜より早く美味しく炊けるから。〈長谷園かまどさん〉を購入してびっくり。それまでのごはん炊き専用の土鍋達とは出来が違いました。火加減の調節もいらず、最高においしいごはんが炊けます。こんなにお米が美味しいなんて。おかずなんて要らないかも。今は８分づきのお米を毎日炊いていますが、これも白米と変わらず美味しいですね。ご飯好きには本当におすすめです！

一時期、他の土鍋に浮気をしましたが、テレビで土鍋から赤外線が発生するメカニズムを学び、かまどさんの方が、科学的野も美味しいことが判明。かまどさんの1合から2合へ買い替えました。本当は3合が欲しかったけど、これ以上のサイズは、力持ちのワタシでも重くて無理。しかし、かまどさんは、とにかく美味しい。洗うのが簡単で、しっかり洗えて清潔。ただ、他社製の方が、オシャレで、音は小さいけど、笛で炊きあがりを教えてくれる機能がついていた点と、かまどさんより、多少軽く、丈夫でした。他の方のコメントにもありましたが、かまどさんは、壊れやすい。先ほど、シンクの上から手を滑らせて落とした際に、蓋が欠けました。まだ新しいのに、ちょっとビックリ＆ガックリ。あらら、ほんとにデリケートだったのね。。。これからは、もっと大事に扱わないと。

以前より電子ジャーは使用せず、ご飯用土鍋を使っています。この『かまどさん』は良いですね〜。惚れました！とにかく、ご飯が美味い！多少、水加減を間違えてもそこそこ美味しく炊けます。難点は大きさ＆重さ、、、ヘビー級です。でも、やはり日本人はコメ命！値段もそこそこなので良い買い物と思っています。
